Two Marines were in each helicopter, said
Armando Carrasco, a spokesman for Joint Task
Force Six, a Department of Defense unit that
helps the Border Patrol in counter-drug efforts.
The Marine Corps is investigating. Marine
Corps spokesman Capt. Joe Kloppel said he had
no immediate information on what might have
caused the crash.
Park residents said it was a collision.
“They definitely collided,” said 63-year-old
Norman Ross of Forest Lake, Minn. “You heard
the explosion.”
Two other helicopters were involved in the
operation but landed safely, said spokesman Al
Foucha of the Marine Forces Reserve in New
Orleans. Foucha did not know how close they
were to the two that crashed.

Director of Hispanic Studies at
A&M, Dr. Manuel Martin-^
Rodriguez, said the interdiscipli
nary nature of a Hispanic Studies
Ph.D. through the Department of
Philosophy and Humanities is
unique to A&M and will give the
degree national status.
The degree, though granted
through A&M College Station,
will be available at A&M-Corpus
Christi, A&M International in
Laredo, and A&M-Kingsville via
Real Time video lectures broad
cast at those campuses. Gates said
the . distance education ability is
important because it moves the
A&M System toward more inter-
campus collaboration.
Three regents whose six-year
terms are expiring this year were
all granted honorary titles.
Anne Armstrong was grant
ed Regent Emerita, Dionel
Aviles was granted Vice-
Chairman Emeritus, and Erie
Nye was granted Chairman
Emeritus. The difference in
Emerita and Emeritus is the
gender of the recipient.
Gov. Rick Perry has the
responsibility of appointing
replacements for Armstrong,
Aviles and Nye. He could re-elect
any of them for another term.
“We don’t know what he
(Perry) may do,” said Bob
Wright, director of
Communications for the Texas
A&M University System.
The next Regents meeting will
be held March 27 and 28 and
include an open forum to mark
the kick-off for the One-Spirit
One-Vision University wide cam
paign drive.
NEWS IN BRIEF
Actress, singer Nell
Carter dies at 54
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -
Nell Carter, who played the stout,
sassy housekeeper on the 1980s
sitcom "Gimme a Break!" and
won a Tony Award in 1978 for
her sultry turn in the Broadway
musical "Ain't Misbehavin'," died
Thursday at 54.
The singer-actress collapsed in
her Beverly Hills home and was
found by her 13-year-old son
Joshua, spokesman Roger Lane
said. The cause of death was not
immediately known.
Carter had suffered from dia
betes for years, Lane said, and
she underwent two brain opera
tions in 1992 to fix aneurysms.
She recovered and continued to
perform, mostly on stage.
in development, it may be sow
what premature to adopt the writ
ing requirement,” said JosephA
Estrada, assistant provost fo
enrollment.
Estrada will take part in ana
lyzing the data during a Ma;
meeting scheduled in New Yoit
City as a member of the SMj
committee.
“We want to ensure the writii
section will add value to ilif
examination before we makeW
requirement,” Estrada said.
While A&M remains undecic
ed on the issue, the writ#
requirement is definite in Austin
“We believe in the important;
of writing as an essential skill
Walker said. "By making writ#
a requirement when studentstak
college entrance exams, we hop
this will encourage students i
spend more time writing in prep
ration for this important milt
stone in their lives.”
Among other changes #
College Board is making to#
SAT are additions of conter
from algebra II to the mathemai
ies section and a renaming of#
verbal section to the “critics
reading” section.
